Mizuno Sora - Just picked up a set for the Wife

[socalsharky]

I've been looking for quite a while for the right deal on a complete set of clubs for my wife. Based on postings here, and the Golf Digest Hot List, I had pretty much narrowed it down to the Adams or the Muzuno. These sets seemed pretty simlar, and included everything wifey needs to hit the course with me. I didn't really want to invest in separate irons, driver, putter, etc. Both were in the $500 to $600 range, even on ebay. Just today, I got an email from golfandskiwarehouse and picked up the full set for $400 delivered. A great deal from an authorized dealer.

Just in case somebody else is in the market for the same set, I wanted to let you know.

The clubs should be here in a week or so, I'll let you know how they work out.

I'm interested in hearing what you think. Need to pick up a better set of clubs for the wife.

Please do. I know a couple girls thinking of getting their first set, and they are looking at the Mizuno Sora.

To the OP, did you order the standard or petite length? And as a comparison, how tall is your wife? My GF is looking for a set. She is 5'4" which I'm guessing would be a standard length, but border line petite. I really don't know anything about lengths of women's clubs. It looks, that for the most part, the irons are 1/2" shorter than men's clubs.

I ordered the standard set. My wife is 5'7", which I think is a good height for women's standard. I know girls around 5' to 5'2" generally get petite, but it seems as though your GF is right on the border. You are correct, the petite sets (at least in the Mizuno) are 1/2" shorter than regular, and the women's regular are about 1/2" shorter than mens regular. If it were me, I would err on the side of going too short, especially if her skill level is not pretty high. Best bet would be to try both if you can.

I'm just wondering how those clubs worked out for your wife SoCal?

Would love to know how your wife likes 'em...
